I tend to keep my thoughts on law enforcement to myself, much like my thoughts on abortion. I don't have a vagina, and I'm not the one laying my life on the line.
Anyone who is living through either situation is far more equipped to deal with said situation than I.

Josh, you're doing fine. You explained yourself perfectly. I was from a small town, and had a number of friends and family in law enforcement. Now I'm from a big city and my nephew-in-law just became an officer.
Things are done a lot different in every place. Whatever place that is, I would never second-guess an officer. I live in a nice neighborhood and the police are absolutely awesome, some of the greatest ambassadors I've ever run into. If they show up and stick a gun in my mouth, tell me to hit the dirt, and shoot my charging dog, there will be no discussion about it.
